We should probably fix this, but it doesn't block the release.

Sounds like a back-end issue.

Click Delete account [user is signed out and taken to create account page]
So IIUC from the description, the expected result here is that the browser ends up signed in to Sync with the newly-created account? I'm not 100% sure that that's actually expected/desired behavior in all cases, and I suspect that some discussions we have around "signing in to the browser" at the all-hands may affect what desired behavior is in this case.

The expected result is that the user would have the same registration experience- the same email, the same initial landing page from the email and the same messaging.

I have attempted to reproduce and am unsuccessful:
- Load about:welcome
- Not on the original steps, but I have to click Sign In here
- Buggy: The tab that opens is not focused
- All the other steps are the same
The actual results I get are:
- An email titled "Confirm your account" (we moved from links to codes since this bug was filed)
- I get the same email (with a different code) for each account I created
So, I think this has been fixed in the interim. Closing.
